ADVERTORIALThere are many strands of peptides, and thesemay further be categorized into four families:Carrier peptides – These support the delivery ofanother ingredient into the cell receptor site.Messenger or signaling peptides – These bind with the cellreceptor site and signal the cell to stimulate production ofproteins, supporting skin elasticity and firmness. Some notablemessenger peptides include:• Palmitoyl Tripeptide- 38 – a next-generation peptide that stimulatessix constituents of the skin including collagen, fibronectin and hyaluronicacid to smooth wrinkles from the inside and rebuild the skin. It supports the repairof photo-damaged skin and defragmented collagen.• Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide- 7 – improves tissue elasticity and firmness, and stimulatescollagen production.• Palmitoyl Oligopeptide – a tripeptide that enhances the production of natural skinmolecules like collagen and glycosaminoglycans, thickens and restores flexibility toextra-dermal matrix, and reduces the appearance of dark eye circles.• Palmitoyl Tripeptide- 5 – a small peptide that mimics the human body’s ability toproduce collagen via tissue growth factor (TGF). It also stimulates collagen synthesis,actively removes wrinkles, and has skin-firming and moisturizing properties.Neuro peptides – These inhibit muscle contractions by blocking messages frombeing transmitted or received, and are commonly referred to as the “Botox”peptide.• Palmitoyl Tripeptide- 3 – mimics the peptide found in viper venom toinhibit muscle contraction and expression lines.• Acetyl Hexapeptide- 3 – works in the same manner to reduce wrinkleformation by inhibiting muscle contraction.Rejuvenating peptides – These perform various duties from signaling tostimulating collagen production and inhibiting neuron transmission to reducemuscle contractions. They also provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatorysupport, healing, exfoliation, and are matrix metalloproteinase inhibiting(MMPIs).• Palmitoyl Hexapeptide- 14 – a mega anti-wrinkle active that works throughvarious pathways to reverse and prevent the signs of aging. Rebuildsextra-cellular matrix by improving collagen biosynthesis byinhibiting destructive matrix metalloproteinases (MMP).Another peptide that falls under the signaling and messengercategory is chrono peptide. This mimics sun exposure toactivate the circadian genes and correct biological rhythmsthat have become sluggish.There are numerous powerful peptides being used byprofessionals today.
